Australian director/screenwriter Jocelyn Moorhouse made her feature-film debut with this brooding, sardonic, sometimes hilarious story of friendship, betrayal, love, and deception. It revolves around a blind hermit of a photographer (Hugo Weaving) who takes pictures as "proof" of reality. He is involved in a love-torment relationship with his housekeeper (Genevieve Picot). Their life changes when he makes friends with a dishwasher (Russell Crowe). It's a love triangle with a few extra twists of spice and spite. Proof is one of those films whose enjoyment is a matter of taste, as it's balanced between mockery and insight. Moorhouse came to Hollywood on the strength of this debut and directed the blander How to Make an American Quilt.
